German shepherd shows off incredible lifeguard skills when her human 'drowns'

By Benjamen Judd3 years ago

The reason German shepherds make such great service dogs is due to a solid combination of courage, loyalty and intelligence.

Case in point, the wonder-dog in this YouTube video who wasn't about to let any human sink to the bottom of the pool on her watch. (Clearly, though, she knew something was up beforehand because she was barking her concern before the "victim" had even dived in.)

Diving in to the water, our hero paddles her way to her target and, taking his hand in her mouth, pulls him back to safety.

Now, we know that this wasn't a real drowning and that he wasn't in any serious danger – but we hope that she gets a delicious snack as a reward for her efforts anyway.
